      Hey there,

      I'm running pfSense CE 2.6.0-RELEASE (amd64) and I had tailscale working great for a couple days. Last night it stopped and now I can't get the service started again. I uninstalled and reinstalled the package. No luck.

      The only thing I see in the system logs is this entry everytime I try to start it:

      /etc/rc.packages: The command '/usr/sbin/sysrc -c -f /usr/local/etc/rc.conf.d/pfsense_tailscaled pfsense_tailscaled_acceptroutes_enable="YES" pfsense_tailscaled_advertiseroutes="192.168.0.0/24" pfsense_tailscaled_authkey="tskey-redacted" pfsense_tailscaled_loginserver="https://controlplane.tailscale.com" pfsense_tailscaled_exitnode_enable="NO"' returned exit code '1', the output was ''

      Manually running tailscaled from the cli returns the error below.

      createEngine: tstun.New("tailscale0"): interface tailscale0 already exists

      I've tried ifconfig tailscale0 destroy but it just hangs. Any idea how to remove the old interface?

      I'm trying to not restart the firewall if I don't have to. Thoughts?

        Looks like I may need to reboot. the list of processes seems a little much.

        I may have only tried the destroy command about 2 or 3 times.

        My guess is something is stuck in a loop somewhere?
